主 The river
谓 had become
宾 very big
1.This is the story that/ which we wrote for our storytelling competition.
这是我们为故事大赛写的故事。
翻译过来就知道,两处“故事”指的是同一篇,所以用定语从句体现,剧中的that/which 指代 story,它其实是 we wrote真正的宾语,但是放在这个位置就叫 “引导词”,它和紧挨着它之前的“先行词”story必须指代同一个事物,而这个事物曾出现在另一个句子里,这个句子的出现会帮助读者更好的认识这个事物。(你看,刚才这句话在英语中就是典型的定语从句:it appears in another sentence where it can be better known by the reader)这就是定语从句的原理。
2.The book (that /which i borrowed from the library) is very interesting .
主语 the book,系动词is, 表语 interesting
以下括号里的内容就是省略的定语从句,可以帮助理解,自己练习一下
3.I am going to see a friend who has just come back form the UK.
I am going to see a friend ().
4.She was the teacher who taught us English Literature.
she was the teacher()
5.The student who /whom we met at the school gate is from America.
the student() is from America
6.I'll tell you something (that) i have heard.
I'll tell you something.
7.The club whose members are music fans meet in the school garden every Saturday afternoon
The club () meet in the ....
凡是所有格(汉语中表示“的”的地方)引导词都用whose
这一句的原句可以拆分成两句:the club meet in the school garden every Saturday afternoon. / its members are music fans.
注意its,是一个表示所有格的特征,也就是“它的(成员都喜欢音乐)”
